Prior to Keyes' entry, I was floating the idea for a Ronald Reagan write-in campaign. It had the virtue, I thought, of making a protest against the Illinois GOP's incompetance and general lack of principles without getting caught up in any Jack Ryan baggage. Or heaven forbid, voting for Obama or, worse, a libertarian.

While Jack! was surely treated unfairly, frankly the only interesting thing about his candidacy was his alleged interest in sex clubs.
